Kerli Kõiv ( born 7 February 1987), usually referred to mononymously as Kerli, is an Estonian recording artist and songwriter.

Born in Elva, Estonia, Kerli entered multiple singing competitions before being signed to Island Records in 2006 by LA Reid.

In 2007, she released her debut self-titled extended play and in 2008, released her debut studio album, Love Is Dead, the latter of which charted on the Billboard 200. The lead single from the album, “Walking on Air,” charted in many countries and was also featured as the iTunes Store’s Single of the Week where it was downloaded over 500,000 times, a record at that time.

In the years following, Kerli was featured on Almost Alice with the song “Tea Party” and she began to abandon her alternative rock sound and started to adopt a more electronic and dance-influenced sound, as can be heard in her 2010 single “Army of Love”.

Following the release of Love Is Dead, Kerli began production on a second studio album which became her second extended play Utopia, released in early 2013, where it became Kerli’s second release to chart on the Billboard 200.

Two promotional singles from the EP, “Army of Love” and “Zero Gravity”, were released prior to the release of the album’s first official single, “The Lucky Ones”. All three songs entered the top ten of Billboard‘s Hot Dance Club Songs chart; two of them peaking at number one. Two songs which were co-written by Kerli for Utopia — “Skyscraper” and “I Feel Immortal” — were later recorded by artists Demi Lovato and Tarja Turunen, respectively. Kerli’s version of “I Feel Immortal” was later released on Frankenweenie Unleashed!.

In 2013, Kerli performed twice on Dancing with the Stars; Vibe called the performances a “major milestone in the EDM world.”

In November 2013, Kerli left Island Records and signed a record deal with Ultra Music.

After nearly ten years as the creative force behind much-loved New York rock outfit Hooray For Earth, Noel Heroux had lost his way

This year marks the release of Mass Gothic, the Massachusetts-bred, New York-based singer/songwriter’s self-titled Sub Pop debut. Written and recorded at home over four months during the winter of 2014-2015, it’s a stunning reminder of not just Heroux’s own remarkable talents as singer and songwriter, but how unbridled creativity can both sound and feel as well.

The result is an expansive, often exhilarating set of guitar-driven pop that required very little editing when it was done. Additional mixing was provided by Chris Coady (Beach House, TV on the Radio) with mastering done by Greg Calbi (Father John Misty, Tame Impala) at Sterling Sound. From the iridescent doo-wop of “Every Night You’ve Got To Save Me” to the skyward crescendo of “Mind Is Probably” to the falsetto-streaked clatter of “Want To, Bad,” it’s a radiant retelling of Heroux’s starting over, with “Nice Night” as its cathartic, electrifying centerpiece. “A lot of these songs are more or less a really dramatic, loud apology/thank you note,” he says, referencing his partner, collaborator, and tour mate, Jessica. “It didn’t matter where any of the sounds came from. I just cared that it sounded big and heavy, and that it was moving when it was done. It’s a clean slate entirely—and I’m so relieved.”

Axwell & Ingrosso (stylised as Axwell Λ Ingrosso) is a Swedish musical duo signed under Def Jam Recordings consisting of former Swedish House Mafia members Axwell and Sebastian Ingress.

They made their performance debut at the 2014 Governors Ball Music Festival in New York City in June.

Axwell and Ingrosso formed the group Axwell Λ Ingrosso officially in 2014. During June of that year, the band gained prominence among New Yorkers when they began placing clues about their new album in various locations throughout the city.

The performance debuted music from a new album they announced to release under the name Axwell Λ Ingrosso the intro music of which premiered on air during Zane Lowe’s BBC Radio 1program.

Their performance was also named one of the 15 Hot Governors Ball Moments as well as one of the Top 10 Best Performances of the Hot Governors Ball by Billboard.They also made an appearance at the 2014 V Festival.

The album is also said to be the first for both artists as Swedish House Mafia never released an official full-length album.Axwell and Ingrosso also deleted their personal Facebook pages and created a single page for the group to signify the new partnership.

They recently toured India, as part of Sunburn Arena, where they engaged with the Indian audience. They also showcased a few of their newer tracks from the album they are launching late this year.

Axwell Λ Ingrosso have teased and released two singles together, “We Come We Rave We Love” and “Can’t Hold Us Down”.

On 26 November they released their new single “Something New” which was used for the new Beats advertisement. On 6 February, they have launched a new online hub, and three new video trailers: “Something New”, “Can’t Hold Us Down” and “On My Way”.

Four days later, the Swedish duo dropped the video for “Something New”. The videoclip takes the viewer on a motorcycle ride through an extended traffic jam in the desert. At the end, the two bikes disappear into the horizon. On 12 March 2015, the duo dropped their next new track, the anthemic “On My Way” which features vocals from Salem Al Fakir.

This was followed by a sequel video, directed by Christian Larson the next day which continued the story of the music video for ‘On My Way’. This was the official music video for ‘Can’t Hold Us Down’

On 12 June 2015, they released a new song “Sun Is Shining”. On YouTube, it hit 3 million views in one month.
